1. Ms Leong Ming Chee
Mr.Raymond Teo welcomed all present. This was the first get-together for 2014 with a few members attending for the first time, namely Mrs Jennifer Wong, Ms Catherine Cheng and Ms Mary Liew.
It was also good to see some children accompanying their parent for this occasion. Mr Raymond Teo also invited Ms Chiam Moi Fah fondly known as Ah Moi, who used to work as our MAGGI demonstrator in Kuching .
Following the 1st inaugural meeting last 7th Sept 2013, the issues which were brought up were resolved. These were mostly on staff purchase, Nestle Retiree card, The Nestle Edge.
However, we still have not found a solution for Sibu and MIri where there are no staff shops.
The Kuching Retirees also mentioned that there is stock shortage of NESCAFE 3 in 1 and NESTLE Omega Plus in the staff shop. They also advised that allocation on products – allowed to buy 6 cans only.
Ms Leong said she will bring this up to the Kuching Factory Manager as we had the same issue in Shah Alam and this allocation was lifted for the Retirees.
It was indeed a happy occasion for all who attended. Mr. Raymond Teo with his right hand men (Laurence, Salleh and Victor) managed to secure some Nestle products and goodies from Harrisons/Vincent Chong. We had MILO, Nestle Breakfast Cereals, MAGGI Noodles; from Vincent Chong we had MUFC Sarawak Laksa paste and Chicken Curry Paste while Harrisions donated Wise chips, Glico and Wine.
Many thanks to Raymond and Team for the fantastic organization. They always do it with style –the Kuching way.

MNRA Bowl for Fun Carnival - Sunday 24 Aug 2014
It did not matter if the scores were low or balls rolled into gutters never to see the light of day of the bowling pins. What mattered most was all 18 teams had a ball of time at the MNRA Bowling Carnival held at the Sunway Mega Lanes, Sunway Pyramid on Sunday, 24th Aug 2014.
It was wonderful to see a bigger response this year ie 18 teams vis a vis 15 teams last year. A good sign for the future. Many have indicated looking forward and not wanting to miss this carnival next year.
 |
| good STRIKE..... |
To us in MNRA there were no winners or losers .All who took part were winners in celebrating the Nestle spirit in this MNRA Bowl for Fun Carnival 2014.
So many prizes and lucky draws were won that almost every bowler returned home with something.
The prize we in MNRA took home was most invaluable and the best - the pleasant memories that we will cherish for a long time.
Our special thanks to MILO , Nestle Breakfast Cereals, Active Ad, Eternal Trophies, Sunway Mega Lanes and SportsUnite for their sponsorship without which we in MNRA would not have been able to organize this carnival successfully.
 |
| The Champion Team, MNRA Bowl 2014 |
Keep those balls rolling as we plan another enjoyable carnival come 2015.
 |
| Gaya ada..aha aha I like it..... |
 |
| Mama says ...just go straight my baby go.... |
 |
| Starting him young... |
 |
| Enjoy the food.. and lets meet again in 2015! |

Date :10th July 2014
Dear Members
Wow, we are into 2nd half of 2014. How time passes when we are retired and we are still so busy with our social life, travelling, looking after and enjoying our grandchildren.
We would like to update you on matters since the last AGM and our activities.
1. Update on matters from AGM
i) Staff Purchase:
• Retirees can change the location where they wish to purchase but they need to
inform HR.
• Staff purchase at Shah Alam complex is resolved. Ms Teh Suet Hoon confirmed
there is no allocation imposed for Nestlé Retirees staff purchase.
Please check with Zaini, the person in - charge of the staff purchase shop.
• Retirees residing on Penang Island have to go across to Mainland to buy as there are
no Distributors there. The HR Director will discuss with the Sales Director to see if
we can find a solution to this. Will update when we have more information.
• Re staff purchase of Ice Cream and Chilled Products, MNRA will not pursue on this
we believe this does not have major impact on us.
• Expatriate staff who are now residing in Malaysia can apply for a staff purchase
card through HR – HOU Encik Meor Zulkarnain Abdul Tarmizi or Jamaliah Shafie.
ii) Change of allocation for annual dinner
• Retirees who wish to change their location to attend annual dinner may do so
but they have to advise HR – HOU attention Encik Meor Zulkarnain Abdul Tarmizi or
Jamaliah Sharuddin Shafie. (email:meorzulkarnaun.ahmadtarmizi@my.nestle.com or
jamaliah.sharuddin.shafie@my.nestle.com
iii) Replacement of Retirees Card
• Please write in to HR - HOU attention Encik Meor Zulkarnain Abdul Tarmizi or Jamaliah Shafie if Retirees wish to replace their card. You need to provide your name, employee number and a passport photo.
iv) Update Retirees’ status via Certificate of Identification
• All Retirees are advised to update their status, change of address and telephone number, email address and bank account number to avoid any stopping of pension
payments.
This is done once a year when HR sends out the Certificate of Identification If you have not receive this, please contact En Meor Zulkarnain or Jamaliah Sharuddin Shafie.
v) Medical Discounts at Hospitals
• This was discussed at length. Nestlé Malaysia no longer has any accounts with any hospitals and therefore it is deemed not possible to provide any discounts for Retirees.
Matter is considered closed.
vi) Adjustment to pension
• We have been informed that there will not be any adjustments in 2014.
Nevertheless we are hopeful for the future and will continue to have dialogue with
the Top Management of Nestlé.
2. Activities
i) MNRA Hi Tea at Bukit Kiara Equestrian Club on 16th May 2014
It was the first event for 2014 with a good turnout of 66 members, spouses and
friends. Even more fortunate for us as we had Honorary Members like Tan Sri Ernest
Zulliger and Puan Sri Susy, Dato’ Frits van Dijk and Datin Jeng, Mr Nimal Koswanage
and Nanda as well as Mr Ekkehard van Leemputten and Emilie – who just arrived 2
days before. Apart from Mr Nimal Koswanage who is a strong supporter of MNRA and
attended most of our activities, it was the first time for the others.
After more than 30 years in Malaysia, Tan Sri Zulliger will return home to Switzerland.
What an appropriate occasion for him to meet old friends and to bid farewell. We wish
Tan Sri Zulliger and his wife Puan Sri Susy good health always and all the very best.
Both Dato’ Frits van Dijk and Mr Ekkehard van Leemputten are regular visitors in
Malaysia while Mr Koswanage is a resident here.
Dato’ Frits said it was so good to see the Nestle Family Spirit still alive with the
Retirees, just like when we were going for “Together for RM 1 Billion”.
Buzzing conversations amidst the crowd, looking for good makan at the buffet table and
Yang Kalsom – MNRA’s own MC had everyone laughing in stitches. Highlights as
usual were the lucky draws but only one that all eyes were on. The WORLD CUP
2014 Ball which was donated by Dato’ Dina Rizal from Sports Unite. The lucky winner
was Dr Zawiah Hashim.
We took the opportunity to present a Certificate of Appreciation to Alex Liew for his close
collaboration with MNRA, taking all the photographs in all our events.
ii) Golf and Fishing which were planned, had to be cancelled in view of poor response.

Full attendance for MNRA Hi-tea 2014 @ Bukit Kiara
by Dato Frits van Dijk
It was like a gathering in the 90's. All 66 members of the Malaysia Nestlé Retirees Association (MNRA) who registered, got together at Bukit Kiara Equestrian Club for High Tea. ( Thank you Dato' Dina for the use of your membership ).
 |
| Front Row from left to right: Ekkehard & Emilie van Leemputten, Puan Sri Suzy & Tan Sri Ernest Zulliger, President Ms Leong Ming Chee, Dato' Frits van Dijk and Datin Jeng, Nimal Koswanage, Datin Kalsom Taib |
This was not a " Together for a Billion " rally, but simply a relaxing afternoon with friends and colleagues to bring back memories of how we at that time achieved that First RM 1 bio in sales ( Nestlé Malaysia is now moving towards sales of RM 5 bio!! ).
With plenty of laughs, hearty makan and numerous door prizes, including an original World Cup 2014 soccer ball donated by Dato’ Dina, all attendees had a great time.
We were honored with the attendance of Tan Sri & Puan Sri Zulliger, who said farewell after 34 years in Malaysia, Eckkehard & Emilie van Leemputten and Nimal & Nanda Koswanage.
 |
| It's been ages since we last met, says Tan Sri Zulliger. |
The MNRA Committee, with its fearless leader Ms Leong Ming Chee, is doing an outstanding job in keeping the Nestlé spirit alive and well in the Nestlé retirement community. Keep up the good work.
Next gathering : on the golf course!!
The lucky winners....
